The current study suggests that self-efficacy, social support, and symptom distress are essential factors associated with patients' perceived problem-solving in diabetes management. Researchers and clinicians should consider both personal factors and psychosocial factors such as self-efficacy, social support, and symptom distress when examining patients perceived problem-solving and developing tailored interventions to improve diabetes management. In addition, health care providers should consider these important aspects when providing tailored care to this patient population.
